Morgan:
Sooner or later PSN plus subscripers will run out of hard drive space. Noone will be interested in removing a single game and redownload it later. Do you have any plans to develop a backup utility to backup selected games. This option is available to people with pirated consoles so it does not make sense not to offer it for us as it is possible to achieve with min effort..

@258 There is a Backup Ulitlty on the PS3 but to do that you need an external and internal hard drives. You back up your data onto the external hard drive, then you take out your old internal hard drive and put in your new internal hard drive. After the PS3 will format the new hard drive then finally you put in the external hard drive and then restore your back up. You would have everything in place + additional space.

I just have one question: why is it always assumed that PS Vita owners necessarily own a PS3 as well? Barely anything for Vita this week…. I know there isn’t a big library yet but evenly updating for Vita would be nice. Rather than having a few games one week, then nothing for next one or two.

@Morgan Great Update But Somethings Been Bothering Me For A While, PS Where is The Dragon Ball Z For Download And Naruto Im Sure If These Games Where Uploaded Free For Psplus Users There Will Be A Massive Spike In Users Looking To Go And Renew There’re Psplus Memberships All I See IS Some Lame Games so Far For The Psplus Users More Popular Games Are In Demand And Make It Available For The US And Other Countries Thnx And Cheers :)

Karateka – Worth about $1.99
Hydrophobia – I enjoyed it, even at more than $3
I Am Alive – Worth about $2.99
Shoot Many Robots — Worth about $1.99

After having a lot of games that end up going on sale for Plus (like, getting them on sale for plus only to later see them going for free on Plus) I’ve become more hesitant and cautious about buying a game that is on sale with a PLUS discount. Consider this when putting games on sale; consider the long-term plans. Sure it’s nice and convenient with regards to losses when putting a game many Plus users already have, on sale, but then it devalues Plus for those consumers. Insert variety. If you throw a game on sale with a discount, don’t drop it for free and instead introduce other games for free.

I just played that Joe Danger game and it’s totally garbage. Another wasted week. Please don’t put these bad games in PS+ offer anymore. Also, I don’t get why you guys give me PS Vita games if I paid for PS+ on PS3, not on PS Vita. Why don’t you give me more PS3 games instead of PS Vita games which I don’t need. If I wanted PS+ for Vita, I’d buy Vita and get it. You should make + separate for PS3 and Vita, and give more games instead.

Its sad to see people complain so much about whats free and what they think should be. Kids these days are way to ungrateful. Its depressing. Your getting games for nothing (essentially) enjoy it. If you dont like a particular game move on with your life. It was FREE. I got an idea for a new rule, complain about horrible free game. Loose plus. Thats alot better of an idea than most these people.

I only want the store to update with a more regular time frame, its to random. Even if it was set at 6pm, KNOWING it was set would be nice.

But i’m happy with anything free. Gives me a chance to try new things.

Does anyone know if the PoP Classic game remake includes an original version as well with retro graphics? My guess is that it just the updated graphics. but I wasn’t sure. Anyway, less than $5 seems like a pretty good deal. Anyone else try this one and have an opinion?

Definitely excited about Joe Danger the movie, and I also just wanted to say I approve of the new format of listing games for the whole month with weekly updates. Keep up the good work, guys!

to Dark_x66: it seems to be an issue in mexican store, the adminds here answered us to be fixin it, even ubisoft México told us something similar, the promotion is valid here, but there´s a problem, hope gets fixed quickly.

PS+ needs more content for those who like RPGs, people like me
as such one of the best games i ever got on plus is Gravity Rush for the vita (i have both ps3 and vita subscriptions)
if more content i like is not released i may just cancel and buy the games, and not feel rushed to beat them.

I just got to say that Sony loves its EU Plus customers way more than the American Plussers. Month after month the EU guys get way better games than the American ones. Games like Mass Effect 3, Batman, Red Dead Redemption, Sleeping Dogs just to name a few within the past few months.

Sure we got the EU “B” rated game Vanquish and that ended up being the American “A” rated game for the month.
I thought Plus was a great deal until I saw what Plus gives other countries.

Sony just doesn’t love its American customers nearly as much as its European ones.
